Overview:Conquest of Planet Earth recreates an alien invasion in the 1950s, but unlike Invasion From Outer Space, this time it’s on a larger scale. Instead of battling individual humans with your bubble-headed Martians, you take on entire locations at once, vying for domination. Although it’s been out for a while now — a new expansion has been announced but no release date yet — I hadn’t gotten to sit down and play it until recently.

Players: 1 to 4

Ages: 12 and up

Playing Time: 30 to 90 minutes

Retail: $59.95

Rating: Resistance is futile. A different direction than other Flying Frog games that I’ve played; can be a bit complicated but is fun if you get into the theme.

Who Will Like It? Fans of alien invasions … particularly if you like doing the invading. It has a lot of die-rolling so you’ll need to be okay with a high luck factor. There’s also lots of silly sci-fi humor, so if you love cheesy alien movies, this is right up your alley.
